I have used several sizes and types, up to 10 gallon, and have settled on 5 gal GeoPots because of how they are made. They flop around less than the Smart Pots and were cheaper at the grow shop. Don't forget the tray to put it on. What kind of soil?

I'm using Black Gold soil. Plants seem to like it pretty well. It's 0.05-0-0 on the NPK so I'm adding nutes (floraNova) in feeding ....

7 gallon smart pots. Like them much more than fives. Clone into cups, into 1 gallons, into sevens and flower. WOrks great. organic supersoil the whole time...

But you know ... I listened to store guy and re potted into 3 gal plastic and he told me to plant a little deep so now I'm wishing I had more soil at bottom so I'm thinking to re pot to 5gal but this is start of week 4 and not sure if I should even mess with them. Just save smart pots for 2nd grow.
What should I do?
Re pot to 5?
Or
Leave alone and see what happens

fuck that guy, pot in 7. you'll be happy almost no matter what your potting it with. seven is same height as five but wider. Much better for what we do ninety percent of the time, ninety percent of the strains.

As big as you have space for is probably the best approach. You can buy 100gallon size... have heard various opinions about plants per light and suspect that 4-6 5gal or 7gal pots would be typical for 1000 watt hps. I use 600watts for 5 plants in 5s and am pleased with the results. I could improve yields by SCROG, but am not that serious.:D

I use a 1000watt for 4 plants right now and i got em in 7gals...I could prolly go 5 or even 6 if i pushed it and still get good results...just curious, what are you harvesting dry weight from the 5 plants under a 600?

I mean it is a lil deep but it all depends IMO...You could leave it as is and then you have plenty of room to throw some top dressing of either amendments or top soil come flower..and just havt the stalk burried a bit further...oooorrrr you could repot its really a personal choice...thats my 2 cents anyway....

Last group yielded about a pound of dry buds, actually just under, but most will go into oil for edible capsules, which still feels tragic to do to these fine buds. The Aspen OG was nearly half of the yield, but smelled worse than the rest by far. By worse I mean like a dead animal. But it sure smokes nice.

Well, if you don't pot into sevens you'll never have to get another light, then get more plants, then get bigger pots, more lights, more electricity, less time... You are doing fine, under that lamp you'll have plenty of vegetation from those plants in those pots...

But for real- don't listen to the grow shop guy. Also, he's pretty cool.

Id move those into 5s or 7s since they are robust and healthy.

Since it's your first grow and looks like you are in a tent I'd keep them in the current pots. They are gona stretch like hell once in bloom so get a grow under your belt with the current pots, see how big the ladies stretch and fill out and then adjust your plans for next grow.

You may want to stay where you are at after seeing how big they get in bloom!
